Simple Simulation of Single-cell RNA Sequencing Data


Bioconductor version: Release (3.23)

Splatter is a package for the simulation of single-cell RNA sequencing count data. It provides a simple interface for creating complex simulations that are reproducible and well-documented. Parameters can be estimated from real data and functions are provided for comparing real and simulated datasets.
